Setting
So far this book has taken place on a train, in a boat, and on Indian Island. I do not know the time this is taking place but the book was copywritted in 1939 so it probably took place around then. Chapter 1
Everyone was on a train on their way to Indian Island except for two who drove themselves
each character recieved a letter inviting them to Indian Island from either an old friend or for a job offer
Everyone is on the same train except for Mr. Blore who has a list of all the characters going to the island.
Chapter 2
Mr. Blore introduced himself under the fake name of Davis.
Philip Lambard avoided answering Vera Claythore question on the Owens by telling her she had a wasp on her arm.
none of them had ever met Mr. Owens
Capter 3

Mr. Owens told Rogers to play this tape
The tape is called Swan Song.

General Macarthur told Vera Claythore that he sent Richard to his death because he loved his wife Leslie
Mr. Rogers moved into one of the guest room downstairs
Chapter 9

Rogers locked the pantry and the dinning room to make sure there no more "Indain tricks" that night.
Chapter 11
They all came downstairs and they realized that there were only six china figures on the table and they could not find Rogers
Rogers was chopping wood for the kitchen fire and the murder crept up behind him and swung the chopper down onto Rogers head.
Vera remembered the nursery ryme and realized the next murder will have to do with a bumble bee.
Chapter 12
Emily Brent was pricked by a "bee" which was really hypodermic syringe
Dr. Armstrong told everyone that he had hypodermic syringe because doctors always travel with it. Everyone went to check for it in his suitcase and it was missing.
Philip Lombard's revolver was also missing, he said that it was in the drawer of his bed-table but it was not there.
Chapter 13
Vera Claythore thought that the wet seaweed falling form her ceiling was the hand of the murder so when the men heard her screaming they came up to save her.
When they returned downstairs they realized that Justice Wargrave had been shot in the head.
On his head he wore Miss Brent's missing gray wool, and he was wrapped in the scarlet curtain that was missing from the bathroom.

Epilogue
Sir Thomas Legge and Inspector Maine are trying to figure out what happened on the island
Thomas and Maine found the diaries of some of the characters and are trying to piece the information together
They thought they figured out the order of the deaths but they can not figure out who the murder is.
Manuscript
Someone wrote down when and how he or she caused the deaths and how he or she made items disappear; for example the revolver.
The murder "died" and sneaked around the house to kill everyone else
To kill him or her self the murder held in his or her hand the revolver and protected his or her hand with a handkerchief. When the trigger was pulled his or her hand will fall to the side and the revolver pulled by the elastic will recoil to the door, jarred by the door-handle it will detach itself and fall.
The murder was Justice Lawrence Wargrave

Assignment #2
Put a line between Assignment #1 and Assignment #2.
Read chapter two.
On your student page ABOVE assignment #1, choose one of the following: suspense or foreshadowing.
Find four examples of suspense OR foreshadowing in chapter two.
Write the exact wording from the book - that means type the sentences exactly as they are written.
In a well-written paragraph, explain why these sentences clearly show either suspense or foreshadowing.
In chapter two Agatha Christi put in suspense and foreshadowing. I chose foreshadowing to answer the questions because I remember it more. "Queer business when you came to think of
it---the whole thing was queer---very queer...."This is a good example of what foreshadowing is because you do not know what the author is talking about when she says business quite yet.I am guessing that later in the story she will explain what Fred Narracott means by business. I also found "Funny place to met him....here---out of the world" This is a good example of foeshadowing because it gives a hint that Dr. Armstrong and and Mr. Justice Wargrave have met each other somewhere before."And after---?" is a good example of foreshadowing because it is listing what Anthony wanted to do after dinner, and then it says "And after---?" which makes me wonder what he is going to do after he eats dinner. And finally the phrase "Not straight. He'd swear the man wasn't straight" is a good example of foreshadowing because it sounds like Lombard did something or is going to do somethig that will make General Macarthur think that he is not straight.
Hi Alex-

How does a mystery novel differ from a narrative?
In a narrative you know all about the characters and what they are doing. In a mystery you find out all the information along with the characters so the author can leave out some information on a character that could make the mystery hard to solve without. Also in a mystery novel the writer will give you some false information so when you think you have solved the mystery the author will give you another piece of information that may make you change your mind. The climaxes arein different spots. Normally in a narrative the climax is more in the middle.IN a mystery novel it is closer to the end.
How might the title be a clue to the story?
The title "And Then There Were None" makes me think the book is going to be a murder mystery, where people either disapper or get killed. I think there will be disapperances in a certian family or group.
Alex- Good answers. Please reread your post and look for mistakes, especially comma placement. What about links? Let me know if you need help. Mrs. M
